A one-stop reference for golf course hazards You are holding a book about inconveniences. But, unlike those unpleasant interruptions in life when we bite into a sour strawberry or encounter a pothole that costs us an expensive new tire, the interruptions covered here lead a dual life.

As every golfer knows, hazards are the heart and soul of the game. This single-source reference is ideal if you're charged with caring for or overseeing the improvement of a golf course. Authors, and golf course designers, Forrest Richardson and Mark Fine trace the history, planning, psychology, design, construction, and maintenance associated with all forms of hazards, providing a comprehensive catalog of the world's most famous hazards.

FORREST L. RICHARDSON, ASGCA, is President of Golf Group Ltd., a golf course design and planning firm in Phoenix, Arizona that specializes in the preparation and implementation of golf course design projects, remodeling studies, and site planning services. MARK K. FINE is the founder of Fine Golf Design, Inc., a golf course design and project consulting firm that is actively involved in a number of redesign and restoration projects.
